Support for Veterans
Have you previously served in the military? Are you a family member of military personnel or a military veteran?
In conjunction with the pledge from the UK government, we are aiming to support military veterans with priority NHS care. All veterans are entitled to priority NHS care for any condition, as long as it is related to their service.
A veteran is someone who has served in the armed forces for at least one day in the regular or reservist forces. If this applies to you, please inform reception.
